Want up North, but not the drive? This is the retreat for you. Big Island is located on Lake Minnetonka, only minutes from Minneapolis. The cabin is located on 1 acre of wooded land with a fabulous view of the lake. It is a wonderful get-away from all the pressures of life. Sit on one of the decks and relax as you enjoy the view.
Big Island is located near Excelsior and Wayzata, both of which are filled with restaurants and shops. If you want solitude, you can spend time hiking around the island or see where the original amusement park used to be.
This is a cozy cabin where you can enjoy nature, yet still be close to urban delights.
*Please note: This property is accessible only by boat. Mainland parking, dockage, or boat rental is not provided by owner.
We are very excited about renting the cabin this year! It has been all remodeled, newly furnished, and beautifully decorated. Once people see, it they love it! The cabin is very upscale and comfortable with two decks.
Upper deck: overlooking the gorgeous view of the lake with two very comfortable chairs with ottomans to relax, read, or have your morning breakfast on. Lower deck (which sits off the water): has a high top table, swivel bar stools, red umbrella and potted flowers at your feet. There is a sandy beach with extra chairs. Put your feet in the sand or build a sand castle!
Inside cabin features include: -Beautiful woodwork -Newly tiled floors -New kitchen appliances and cabinets -New bathroom with jetted tub -Beautiful romantic open loft bedroom (which overlooks the living room)
Everything is beautifully decorated with an eye for details and enjoyment!
At the beach there is volleyball/badminton than can be set up. Tie up to the 75 foot dock. It's great for fishing and the sunnies are always biting! *Fishers- This bay is one of Lake Minnetonka's prized bass fishings spots (walleyes, northerns, bass, and muskies). A large fire pit, which overlooks the bay, is complete with large boulders to sit on to roast marsh mellows. 4 new kayaks and a paddle boat are available to rent. $25 for 3 days or $50 for the week (per kayak or paddle boat).
Remember, this property is accessible only by boat! 24 hour public parking is available in both Excelsior and Wayzata that have public docks. There are several full service marinas that are close to the island and a boat rental company, Foster Bros. Marine, located in Delano.
We cannot do large groups due to our septic and well systems. We are so excited to share our cabin with mature, responsible, and respectful renters so that the cabin will stay in great shape for years to come. |
